In Finland, Liquid Wind and Turun Seudun Energiantuotanto Oy (TSE) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development of an eFuel facility in Naantali, Finland. The eFuel facility is planned to be adjacent to TSE’s local power plant Naantali 4 which will deliver biogenic CO2 and steam for the production of eMethanol. In addition, the process and waste heat of Liquid Wind’s facility will be used for district heat, reducing the share of incineration-based district heat production by TSE. Once operational, the eFuel facility will produce 100,000 tons/a eMethanol made from green hydrogen and biogenic CO2 (160,000 tons/a). Final investment decision is planned for 2026, and the facility will be operational in 2029. Claes Fredriksson, CEO and Founder of Liquid Wind, said: “We are very happy to announce the development of our eFuel collaboration project with TSE. By entering this MoU, we are combining our companies’ strengths to promote and accelerate the clean energy transition both locally and globally. Locally, in the city of Naantali, we will focus on CCU and the reuse of CO2 and waste heat. Globally, we aim to support the transition by allowing our off-takers to shift from fossil fuels to low-carbon eFuel produced at this facility.”
